[QUOTE="DaisyC1234, post: 755635, member: 24338"] So I have an almost 16 year old with his driving permit. Does great but needs to be refocused sometimes (scary). The problem is not driving, it's the computer. I think he in sorts is addicted to it. I tell him to get off and he does not. He is not abusive towards me he is more of a passive aggressive. I just don't want this to get out of hand. So I have set some rules/boundaries. [LIST=1] [*]Since he can't seem to tell time, I will take the wifi box at 9:00 pm. (forewarned) [*]He must keep his grades above a C at all times no matter if it's a progress report or not to keep the above privilege. [*]All homework/reading must be completed before getting on the computer. [/LIST] He is a really good kid. When I have my granddaughters he helps me so much. He does do Jiu Jitsu 3 days out of the week, but lately it's been only two with the girls over and my exercise schedule. He will be working with my husband his dad this weekend, so that's good. I told him to take him to the job to get him away from the computer. He hates when we have an argument and will sheepishly come and tell me he loves me and gives a hug. Anything more I can do to get him on the right path? I know it's our fault for letting it get to this point but with the Difficult child and her kids I think he's just been push aside. I try to engage him, but he's just so used to being on the computer he really doesn't want to do much else. He is not overweight. He played ice hockey for 4 years and he loves to ski. He does have ADHD but it's not bad. He does have a 504 plan at school in place also. I am taking him to the therapist next week with me to sort this out a bit. Thoughts or suggestions? [/QUOTE]
